The Horticultural Society will hold their annual Christmas wreath making workshop in the village hall on
Saturday 6th December, 2 to 4 p.m.
Tickets have been selling fast but if you would like to enquire about any last minute availability please call Kate Osborne on 01403 700165 or email katemosborne@aol.com Price: £40 for non members and £30 for members. We hope you enjoy all the beautifully decorated front doors in the village!
We are planning a full calendar of events for next year, including our AGM and horticultural quiz night, plant sale on the green, June flower and produce show, seed swap, August bank holiday show, an October talk and our Christmas event. We are so grateful for all your fantastic support throughout the year, whether it is underwriting us with generous sponsorship, turning up to vote at the AGM, growing runner beans from seed for the plant sale or competing or stewarding in the shows. The fund raising element of our events helps to keep membership of the society free and accessible to everyone (and comes with some rather attractive discounts at local plant nurseries).
Dates for the diary:
AGM and horticultural quiz night – 2nd March
Plant Sale – 16th May
June show – 14th June
August Bank Holiday Show – 31st August
Our next event is the Christmas Wreath Making Class to be held on:
Saturday 6th December, 2 to 4 p.m. in the Village Hall.
Everything will be provided, wreath rings, moss, fabulous pine and spruce foliage, fir cones, orange and lemon slices and luscious ribbon. You don’t need any previous experience, there will be a demonstration to start with (whilst you sip prosecco and nibble on a mince pie) and then you will make your own wreath, assisted if need be by a team of florists. Everyone will go home with a stunning door wreath and we hope that this year the village will again be adorned with the most beautiful Christmas door wreaths. Tickets are £40 for non-members and £30 for members and all the proceeds go to funding the work of the Society and helping us to stage our June and August village shows. As we go to press tickets are already going fast so please do contact us ASAP if you would like to come.
